I just activated a Romopolis one from the same bundle, and then a Townopolis one just for the hell of it.
Didn't bother testing any more after that.

Tried my other spare from those (Empire of the Gods) and it worked.
Deleted the post. I'll assume I used Romopolis somewhere I forgot.

Just got revoked from my account. I had traded for it 8 months ago. Developer revoked all keys sold/consigned to GoGoBundle for non-payment. Wouldn't be surprised if keys from other sites are revoked because they sourced them from GoGoBundle.
Go Go Bundle Limited #79 https://barter.vg/bundle/3731/
Looks like it was a bulk buy bundle.
Developer claims (copied in case dev edits or deletes):
IF YOU GOT YOUR CODE REVOKED
Dear users,
If you got your code revoked, it was bought at GoGoBundle. The owner of this website didn't pay my share of the sales, and as part of the agreement, the keys were revoked. Also, the owner now owns a website of cheat bundles.
Cheers,
Lospi

Unredeemed key for New Reality Studio Pack (57 item package!!!) from Fanatical (Bundlestars) New Reality Bundle revealed today was a dupe. This is yet another key from this publisher...
EDIT: other invalidated keys from this bundle:
AI: Rampage
Atonement: Scourge of Time
Data Hacker: Corruption
Data Hacker: Initiation
Data Hacker: Reboot
Dead6hot
Incitement 3
Invasion: Brain Craving
Love is Blind: Mutants
Rabiez: Epidemic
It looks like almost all keys from this bundle have been invalidated. Only keys for 3 games were valid. All keys were revealed today (May 03 2020).

All keys were revealed today (May 03 2020).
It seems plausible enough that the reveal status of the keys has been reset in the past 4 years, and you or someone else has actually used the keys?
Argument for this: at least both Humble and Groupees have lost their revealed-or-not data in the past. Not sure about IndieGala.
Comment has been collapsed.
No. I am 100% sure that these keys were not used before, even though I purchased this bundle a long time ago (in 2016). Once again I have learned a lesson that I should activate keys from bundles immediately after buying...
I can understand that it may seem very unlikely that so many keys for different games from a single bundle are suddenly revoked. All those games have been published by the same publisher, though - New Reality Games.
And if you look at the table above, you'll find that some of these titles were already reported.
I'm pretty sure that there are still some people who have unused keys from the first tier of the bundle and can confirm this (since these games were also included in tier 2 key).
From all the games in the bundle, the only valid keys were: City of Chains, PulseCharge and Elements: Soul of Fire. I activated the City of Chains and PulseCharge on my main Steam account. As I already had Elements: Soul of Fire and Data Hacker games from a different bundles I tried to redeem these keys on my second (this) account.

I just tried to activate my UNUSED (revealed today) key from Groupees Retro 4 bundle - it shows as duplicated. Then I tried keys from Indiegala Friday Bundle #19 and Super Duper Snow Leopard Bundle. They didn't work either.
Keen Dreams
Game is no longer available on Steam and probably unredeemed keys have been revoked. Mine was from Bundle in a Box 2 - I haven't used it before and now it shows as duplicate.

Weird, tried to activate Groupees copy and it's dupe as well, but another key from Greenlight Arcade page (some giveaway) redeemed fine.

I very recently got Days Under Custody from Indiegala, as a "bonus scratch game" during one of their recent sales (a COVID-related one, maybe?). The winner of my most recent GA just informed me the key was duped. 🙁
Comment has been collapsed.
This was a whole thing when that game was first bundled. The dev revoked all keys, including activated keys, and the game was revoked from all accounts; it was either a legit mistake where he was trying to revoke everything unsold, or that was just a cover story. I wouldn't trust any keys for that game that weren't issued directly by the dev as a specific apology.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great... 🙄
I opened a support ticket on Indiegala when I discovered the key was not valid. They haven't replied yet, but after reading your reply I'm not confident at all I'll get a replacement.
Thanks for the info, in any case.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've dealt with their support a few times, and I find them straight-up. If they can help you, they will. My sympathy is usually with the stores, unless they are dishonest. It can be hard to tell, of course. But they are selling keys that they have been given to sell. A certain kind of dev will revoke the keys and then tell people to complain to the store - but of course it wasn't the store that revoked the keys, it was the developer. ALWAYS. Stores don't have the power to revoke keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot to post an update!
Agreed, as shabby and faulty as their website is (and more so since the recent redesign), their support team is very honest and efficient. This morning I received a reply from them with a replacement key, which worked. So case closed! :)

All unredeemed Red Lake keys were revoked a couple of years ago. The devs did the same with at least most keys for Sixtieth Kilometer, and at least some for Rise of the Ancients. Happily, by all reports these are terrible games, so no one is really missing them.

several duplicate keys from dharker studio, does anyone have the mail of this dev? In case you could give me replacements, I can't find any email either on your website or on steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
There's a discord https://discord.com/invite/NFxBaUs you can try, a few things I've read suggest that this might be the best way to contact them.
Failing that try messaging them either through the Steam forums or via twitter, they closed their old page but this seems to be their new one https://twitter.com/facetwopalm
Or as a last resort the email their newsletter comes from is admin@dharkerstudio.com so you could try it.
PS: what bundle/s did your keys come from?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, thanks for the info, I explain, the keys were in a txt file and I did not write down what bundle they came from, that's why I do not say it, the twitter you have put wrote to them without an answer, I also wrote them in discord without success and now for email in case there is more luck ..
Edit: dev response:
Hello,
We don't sell our keys any longer, if you have purchased these from a store like Indiegala or humbleStore you need to contact them directly so that they can provide you with a refund or a correct key.
As we are not involved in their key sales we cannot help you.
Kind Regards

Indiegala already always washes her hands with these themes and dev more of the same.
I encourage you to put negative reviews on it as it disregards its responsibility to give replacements.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the devs are still working with those stores, so if there is any issue with the key, those stores should be your first contact points, since the dev shouldn't be involved in managing the keys that they are not directly selling.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is almost always entirely the fault of the devs/publishers when keys have issues months after a bundle release - they are the only ones who can hit the big red button on Steam to batch-invalidate the keys (which they have already received money for).
Once upon a time the stores would help, but now its become too much of a hassle to help the dozens/hundreds of single-use cases contacting support for in-bundle games - it probably costs more in support time than they earned on that bundled game. Its not the store's fault the devs broke a contact months down the line, and its tough to do anything about it, especially when this is extremely difficult to prove due to Steam's ridiculous policy of making invalidated keys read as 'duplicate'.
This is why people rightfully get triggered by devs who mass-revoke keys.

Not really revoked, but I didn't know where else I should mention it...
I got a Humble giftlink today for "SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition" and when I tried to reveal the key I only got the message "Keys are temporarily exhausted for this product". I'm not sure if they will ever restock them...
So just a heads up in case you still have an unrevealed Humble purchase for this game. Better make sure there's actually a key there before making giveaways and stuff :3

The dollar ultra bundle seems to be a hit and miss for me. I haven't redeemed all keys, but so far the following show as duped:
- Town of Night
- Turbo Pug 3
- Turbo Pug
- Warriors of Vilvatikta
- Star Fields
- Germ Wars
- Final Quest II
- $1 Ride
Other 16 games I tried so far were still good. still have 22 games unredeemed. Would like to give them away here on SG, but not sure if they still work.
Maybe the old Ultra Bundle has some duped keys now and the Dollar Ultra Bundle Reloaded still has valid keys?

ALIENS INVADED OUR PLANET from Indiegala Adventure Planet Bundle
today "opened" my key and it dupe.
gala refused to replace/help cuz of "60 days rule"
EDIT 11.06.20.: got working key and apology from gala
Paula (IndieGala)
Jun 10, 2020, 10:16:36 AM GMT+2
Hello,
As specified in our terms and conditions, every customer that purchases a digital product on our store which requires activation on a third party platform (e.g. Steam activation keys), is required to activate the purchased activation codes within 60 days from the purchase. If 60 days have passed since the purchase of the activation codes and the customer has difficulties in activating the codes, we cannot guarantee replacement of the codes or any other solution.
Unfortunately we are not able to provide a solution for this game, since it has been sold in our bundle more than 60 days ago. You can try to contact the developer and ask for a solution, as the issue here seems to be the deactivation of the keys from Steam or developer/publisher.
Thank you.
but this game still in drop pool in so called "gameplay giveaway" where multiaccs with autoscripts gain a tons of games.
so be aware, any game-key can get into "gala-giveaways" after 60 days.
EDIT 11.06.20.: got working key from gala
Comment has been collapsed.
Well it could just be that the developer revoked the unused Steam keys, but you're implying that Indie Gala is using keys from our purchased bundles 60 days (or at any point in time) after the purchase on their "Gala giveaways" pool of keys.
Maybe you should reply to Paula and ask her openly about that. You can also also ask the developer why the key was revoked. If he answers (which is usually not case) you'll be able to find more: if he says he did it, then the matter is settled. If he says he doesn't know what you're talking about, then maybe your theory about IG is right.
There's another possibility too: that all keys being given away on the "gameplay giveaway" are dupes too (revoked) and IG doesn't know about it.

didn't want to blame gala in intention putt bought keys into GA.
"Maybe you should reply to Paula and ask her openly about that." - replied and asked earlier (no answer yet)
-there was site redesign, and some keys could errory get into pool.
-and yes this dev could resell/regift this trash. i checked game page before, he never replied in any topic. so not worth contact him. (i could be wrong).
wanted to say they have keys for GAs, but refused replace legally bought key. (at least try to replace as stock exist. even if keys revoked/resell by dev)

Same for me. I won it here on sg so I can't tell the origin of the key.

I think this developer is either lying or lied to steam for reason why keys were revoke, the revocation reason on steam was prerelease beta or test period ended. If it's a payment issue that message says payment issue.

Valve doesn't do anything. I'm pretty sure the dev has to choose the reason and failed here.
However, he already sent me and others replacement keys, so it's okay for me.

I've made one post in this thread before, but I finished going through my unredeemed Indiegala happy hour bundles going back to mid-2018.
I checked against the games already mentioned in this thread (on pages 1, 7, 10, 11; apologies for any repeats).
I didn't have multiples of the same bundle, so each of these is one key from one bundle (except one game that was in 2 different bundles).
Here are the keys that were either duped (already activated according to Steam) or NODATAFOUND (indiegala system not showing a key upon revealing):

You are lucky you got at least some compensation. Normally the only reply you get from Indiegala ist this
"As specified in our terms and conditions, every customer that purchases a digital product on our store which requires activation on a third party platform (e.g. Steam activation keys), is required to activate the purchased activation codes within 60 days from the purchase. If 60 days have passed since the purchase of the activation codes and the customer has difficulties in activating the codes, we cannot guarantee replacement of the codes or any other solution.

I just activated my key for Epic Adventures: Cursed Onboard from the Riddles & Mysteries bundle, and it was valid, so I guess the devs didn't revoke all of them. FYI.

Today "When Our Journey Ends - A Visual Novel - From Indiegala Anime Journey Bundle" > I gave 16 keys away here proven being dupe for most of them.
From what I read we can consider basically that all keys sold on any bundle site 60 days + ago are all dead (or most)
Yes crappy douchebag devs, I resell your games, and when your crap is completely unsellable I give it away.
You had my money, and are happy with it. And now you want to eat twice the same pie? Fuck you, now watch your crappy games overbundled get 5 sales instead of 3000 while I, and many other, abandon the ship and let you sink with it.
I hate short sighted 18 yo fucktards thinking they are great at marketing and sales while shooting themselves all day long in the foot with an AK-47.
Time will make you pay your scummy behaviours, keep talking about grey market resellers as much as you want, you are still 1000 times more scummy than we are. Awful.
And now I have to withdraw 490 references from sales and sit on my losses, because not only your garbage games sell for 0.25 cents, but each complain cost me 1€ refund fees + my rep.
What I would like is see the amount of bundles sold by the end of the year, as i'm sure 80% of them are bought by resellers, now that you got us out you are probably in for a very bad dry money circle.
Hopefully it will force devs to produce great games instead of shovelware, because I think the shovelware era is over as we were the ones buying them. Market will be cleansed from resellers, this I can ensure you, seeing the current situation for us. But don't expect to survive either as you were sat on our shoulders dear shovelware developers... The market will show you the exit door you deserve to take, and it's long due.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, while I am sorry for your loss, I would like to kindly ask you to remove the keys from your posts or to post them as a reply to your post above instead of directly on the thread.
Considering that these keys are already redeemed, I don't see why they should be listed in the first place.
Plus it adds A LOT of clutter to the thread.
You made your point, we don't need 21 separate messages with these keys. Please list only the title of the games.

Sorry didn't saw any messages, I didn't refreshed each time the page. Anyways, I trashed the 4000 keys I had left.
And from now on, bundles will do without my money.

If you want this information for one game specifically, you can find it under the "Notices" section for the Barter entry of that game.
(Example: https://barter.vg/i/42708/ then scroll down to "Notices": you'll see the red notice "Revoked (Dev) ⌫"; mouseovering it will give you some more info)
Thanks to everyone who reported their key revocations here. Please continue reporting them here. You folks are awesome!
Due to character limit, time constraints and having to manually create the chart rows, it's very difficult to keep a list on revocations on SteamGifts. Since I am the one managing these notices on Barter anyway, I thought it would be convenient to centralize the reports from SteamGifts and trade offers into one place and Barter proved to be a good solution for that because of its bundles and game database.
The below lists will not be updated on SG any more, but all your reports will be reflected on Barter, so please continue reporting them.
